AMD Dragon Platform exhibition

[massman]

They also Confrim that Phenom II Platform gives double min frame rates at 3D benches than i7 Platform.....

Not sure if it really is double, but it's already good news they are coming close to the i7 performance

[Calmatory]

But it has 4 cores running instead of one

Don't be so mean!

[BrowncoatGR]

With the low HT speed you would assume the NB speed is just as low.

Well NB can be >= than HT, so not necessarily. I'd would make sense though, since highest possible clock ws their goal.

[Dagalidis]

Now i cant imagine what a dual CPU with same 45nm process can do..
My E8400 run stable at 4400 - 4500 on air...
Lets hope AMD can do better.

[Monstru]

The broadcast was such a blast....I'm not talking about the results, from what I have senn the chips clock really high, and taking into consideration that full LN2 pot, the cold bug is not a problem. So the results are great. But talking about the broadcast again....if you ask me it was something like this...

The broadcast is announced.....the horde of ATI fans that desperately want the 8.12 FINAL and GTA IV patch now start their assault over the poor chat room. People are preparing to show the Dragon platform at 6GHz with no CB, but the horde screams for the precious 8.12. So the broadcast begins...My o my..nice results....We see the live event, we see the nice results....and then 4 people sitting on a couch (SF3D, Sampsa, etc) and the moderator....and they look at the camera....and nobody speaks.....Finnaly the talk show starts, and ....there is an awfull lag between the voice and the image....So...the fans start shouting and crying on the forum. The chat mod, obviously an IT genius, goes to the rescue, so he bans half of the ATI fans fron the chat....And of course, the broadcast stops...

on a 3Ghz Quad Core @ LN2 with temperatures of -180C

WOW AND INTEL CANT DO IT!!! haven't seen i7 do that yet with its top tier processor.

[Morais]

Yeah it was quite funny, like 50 people got banned in 5 seconds, including massman lol

[Blaber]

Admin was on banning spree lol , and video was all chopped up, but I did see the 6.3ghz cpu-z shot , Hurray AMD!

[Movieman]

Lets keep this thread on a positive note if we can ok guys?
Looks like AMD has a winner.
I'm going to the Boston viewing this friday.


( stops and waits for hearts to stop on that one!)

If you have one, please show up in an Intel related t-shirt

He has an Intel coat, just nice


But really. Imagine 3 months ago, this news would have been laughed and ridiculed at.

[mongoled]

Gotta give AMD some credit, not a peep of info before Barcelona was released. now you can't keep them quite.

I hope to not be DEVASTATED this time.

I'll be watching the vid for sure!

Well AMD must be doing something right, not seen you post for a while



Great to see the 'real' XS members posting positively in an AMD thread, way to go.

Things are looking very rosy, will be a lot of fun seeing peeps at XS benching AMD again, hopefully they will be close enough to the competing products to make things interesting



Fun reading, we will all stay tuned

[D-Cyph3r]

Some early retail results here: Clicky

Nice idle temps.

I do have a coat with Intel logo on it but I wouldn't wear that to an AMD event. Classless and rude IMO.
I try to keep an open mind on all of this stuff and to be honest, whatever does the most work in the least amount of time in Aids and cancer research is what I will run.
As of today the intels almost double the AMD's in terms of the work done.
BUT as I said, an open mind, and I want to see for myself..

[Spacemaster]

What about numbers of benchmarks, such as spi1m, spi32m, 3DM 06, any WR breaks? Overclock is amazing, but score numbers are more interesting to me, than max clock. I have Intel P4 65nm that can do spi1m at 6.5 GHz with LN2, but time can not compare with C2D at 4GHz. So when we can se numbers of benchmark that enthusiasts use with subzero setups?

[clonez]

wow, this looks great
more game benchies @ 3.5-4 ghz, pleeeease

looks like amd will get some of my money in january...

edit: does anybody know more about idle power consumption (and is able to tell)? those temps make me hope....

[gallag]

Any numbers yet? Or just same old stuff repeated? Dont get me wrong, There is nothing negative about the oc, In fact it is sweeeeet, but it is the same news we have had for the last few weeks, Anything new?

The min frame - i7 thing (I think it's pretty much BS though.)
They mentioned similar average framerates compared to the i7 too.



Everybody legal is gagged, so most of the attention whores have resorted to giving out fake infos and benchmarks. The Opteron is a good reference point but so far there isn't much real benchmark info at all.


Oh, and benchmarks will pop up on the 20th of December.

[Chad Boga]

Bizare. If there was a physcial room full of trolls like that, there'd be chaos! I'd be sure to jump in too, and make sure a few walked away with a couple split lips.

Are you that rough a kisser?

[flippin_waffles]

You're invited to find out..

[gallag]

get a room guys

Thanks for the info man.

[gallag]

Why are you so upset soundood? I thought this would have made you happy.

[G-UNIT91]

why I see the same video?

[Rammsteiner]

With the low HT speed you would assume the NB speed is just as low.

Why would you assume that. It's completely undepended of each other and in some cases the CPU does OC better with low HT link, but same cant be said about low NB speed. Maybe the NB ran at the same speed, but it wouldnt have made a difference, pretty much irrelevant really
